Thanks :-)

I can try. But I want to achieve consistency with titlebar and a sense
of continuity as a single gradient.
I don't know if I explained well. :-)

Yes, it's true ( although not entirely agree ). But I maded two themes
for some reason (techniques and practices):
1. people always want something ready;
2. in some themes is not enough simply change the colors in the control
panel but must work in the code to adjust some values. For example I had
change some values (shade, contrast, etc..) in gtkrc and metacity for
change from Naxos to NaxosClear. And for users this is not simple. And
they don't want.

Ultimately the themes are similar (change only the color) but the code
(and not only color values) is not equal.

Sorry for my English, I hope you understand.
